Sixth, and unfortunately final, peak on a South to North Presidential Traverse, didn't have time to get Madison. Summited around 2:30, tried to make it down Airline and back to the hiker shuttle by 4:20. Needless to say, we didn't make it. Long day.

Did the long (2.5mi) traverse over from Jefferson in rainy, foggy weather and a visibility of 20 feet or so. We basically followed the route from cairn to cairn until we reached the summit of Adams, which we had all to ourselves. It was a LONG, hard traverse over talus back to Jefferson and down the Caps Ridge!

After losing Flanders on Jefferson, I hiked up this one to do a loop looking for him. No visibility and high winds with rain. It stunk. Found my way down the backside and went to Madison Hut and then started backtracking on Gulfside where we finally found each other. Eighth peak on a south to north Presidential Traverse.

120 miles of visibility...only the second day this year! In talking to locals they said that many of them had been in the area multiple times and NEVER had a day like that. Part of a pseudo traverse. This was our last mountain before basically running down to the Madison Hut for dinner at 6! Probably one of the more imposing summits looking at it from the distance.
